Housing Market Analysis

The housing market analysis is an important process through which one gathers information, which is useful for mortgagees, builders and other housing real estate owners or investors. This analysis is generally conducted by the Economic and Market Analysis Division of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This provides facts and information about the current status of a given property, its future salability and the demographic, economic and housing inventory properties of specific housing markets. This also takes into account the population, number of existing household and the population within the area concerned. Moreover, a housing market analysis is essential for investments made in real estate.
